As for the ridiculous fear of...

As for the ridiculous fear of making things below one's potential abilities... No, there is the root of the evil. There is the hiding place of stupidity I must attack: vain mortal, you are limited by nothing.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Cold exactitude is not art......

Cold exactitude is not art... The so-called consciousness of the majority of painters is only perfection applied to the art of boring. People like that, if they could, would work with the same minute attention on the back of their canvas.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Curiously enough, the Sublime...

Curiously enough, the Sublime is generally achieved through want of proportion.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

The outcome of my days is alw...

The outcome of my days is always the same; an infinite desire for what one never gets; a void one cannot fill; an utter yearning to produce in all ways, to battle as much as possible against time that drags us along, and the distractions that throw a veil over our soul.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Always, at the back of your s...

Always, at the back of your soul, there is something that says to you, 'Mortal, drawn from eternal life for a short time, think how precious these moments are.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Criticism is like many other ...

Criticism is like many other things, it drags along after what has already been said and doesn't get out of its rut.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Mythological subjects always ...

Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Real beauty in the arts is et...

Real beauty in the arts is eternal and would be accepted at all periods; but it wears the dress of its century: something of that dress clings to it, and woe to the works which appear in periods when the general taste is corrupted.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

All painting worth its name, ...

All painting worth its name, unless one is talking about black and white, must include the idea of color as one of its necessary supports, in the same way that it includes chiaroscuro, proportion, and perspective.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

The more an object is polishe...

The more an object is polished or brilliant, the less you see its own color and the more it becomes a mirror reflecting the color of its surroundings.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Commonplace people have an an...

Commonplace people have an answer for everything and nothing ever surprises them. They try to look as though they knew what you were about to say better than you did yourself, and when it is their turn to speak, they repeat with great assurance something that they have heard other people say, as though it were their own invention.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

The source of genius is imagi...

The source of genius is imagination alone.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

We should not allow ourselves...

We should not allow ourselves to believe that writers like Poe have more imagination than those who are content with describing things as they really are. It is surely easier to invent striking situations in this way than to tread the beaten track which intelligent minds have followed throughout the centuries.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Take hold of objects by their...

Take hold of objects by their centres, not by their lines of contour... The contour accentuated uniformly and beyond proportion, destroys plasticity, bringing forward those parts of an object which are always most distant from the eye - namely its outlines.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Experience alone can give, ev...

Experience alone can give, even to the greatest talent, that confidence in having done all that could be done.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

The so-called conscientiousness of the majority of painters is only perfection applied to the art of boring.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Not only can color, which is ...

Not only can color, which is under fixed laws, be taught like music, but it is easier to learn than drawing, whose elaborate principles cannot be taught.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

There is a man whose qualities can be savored by people who are getting old... The painter qualities are carried to the highest point in his work: what he does is done - through and through; when he paints eyes, they are lit with the fire of life.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman's flesh.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

I am carrying out my plan, so...

I am carrying out my plan, so long formulated, of keeping a journal. What I most keenly wish is not to forget that I am writing for myself alone. Thus I shall always tell the truth, I hope, and thus I shall improve myself. These pages will reproach me for my changes of mind.
